Autumn in Springtime.

Posted on April 18, 2017 by lindsaylittleson • Leave a comment

I have really enjoyed writing blogs for GirlsHeartBooks and feel quite sad that this will be the final one. Luckily I’ve got lots to share as it has been a busy month! My book launch was not a gigantic fail, which was a huge relief to my central nervous system. In fact, I think I’d … Continue reading →

Countdown to Launch

Posted on March 18, 2017 by lindsaylittleson • 4 Comments

My book, The Awkward Autumn of Lily McLean was published two days ago, which feels both exciting and nerve wracking. The book launch is on the 29th of March in Waterstone’s Braehead and my nerves couldn’t be more wracked about that! Public speaking isn’t my thing. In fact, I’d go as far as to say … Continue reading →

Deadlines Rule

Posted on February 18, 2017 by lindsaylittleson • Leave a comment

The puppy’s name is Bessie and she’s one of my many excuses, even though she’s not even mine and only comes to visit occasionally. It shames me to admit, but so far this year I’ve written only a few thousand words. I’m full of ideas, but struggling to get into an evening writing routine. I’ve … Continue reading →

Those Awkward Moments

Posted on January 18, 2017 by lindsaylittleson • Leave a comment

It’s done! I have finished the edits and spent hours proof reading. Luckily it snowed last week so I didn’t feel too bad about staying inside. I didn’t find many mistakes but my eyesight is a bit dodgy so it’s probably just as well my publishers are checking too! The design team has done an … Continue reading →

Christmas with cats by Lindsay Littleson

Posted on December 18, 2016 by lindsaylittleson • Leave a comment

My house is looking as twinkly and festive as a cat owner’s house can look. Tinsel and lights are trailing from the Christmas tree and it’s looking decidedly bedraggled since Roo decided it was an excellent vantage point from which to spy on the birds in the garden. She’s completely deaf, so bells and other … Continue reading →

The best kind of research

Posted on November 18, 2016 by lindsaylittleson • Leave a comment

Sitting on a squashy leather couch in front of a roaring log fire, reading a glossy magazine, does not look like hard work. To tell the honest truth it wasn’t. But my weekend at the Auchrannie Hotel in Arran was part relaxing break and part research for my new book, a sequel to The Mixed … Continue reading →

A friend for life.

I met Ali when I was 9 and just started at a new school, my third primary school in three years. I still remember how my feet dragged as I trailed behind my mum and two younger sisters on that first day. I had been miserable at my first two schools and was dreading starting … Continue reading →

Inspirational Islands by Lindsay Littleson

Posted on September 18, 2016 by lindsaylittleson • Leave a comment

My novel The Mixed Up Summer of Lily McLean is set on the Isle of Cumbrae, partly because Cumbrae is one of my favourite places in the entire world, but also because I love small islands and find them fantastically inspiring. My obsession with islands started when I was eight and in bed with hepatitis … Continue reading →
